RTE: The Savage Eye

Ash.J.Williams

first ever savage eye post!

Not liking this. There's nothing in it. It's caused a silent boredom in our living room.

Himself and Jason Byrne, making modern Irish comedy seem like making loud noises and silly faces is funny.

There's certainly potential there but it's just somewhat missing the mark.

This is the only half decent show on rte, I'm so glad its coming back.

just watched the opener and was decent enough with Joe Duffy probably being my highlight of the episode

youngblood

Excellent episode, really enjoyed that!

Ash.J.Williams

good start, even by their standards it was close to the bone!

whats the story with airing this one week prior to it appearing on RTE.
Is this not going to effect the ratings? Will this be a reason not to renew the series or give David McSavage his run at another show or series?
Is it normal for RTE to do this with an existing show?

i doubt they're worried about ratings...savage eye ratings are quite low anyway compared to other shows on RTE

Still can't believe that this is not on DVD yet or at least the old episodes from the previous series are on the player. Probably the best comedy show RTE have produced in a long while!

Hande hoche!

Quite enjoyed the Pat Kenny segment.

Grayditch

Thought that was class. I did think the church abuse jokes were a miss. Not cause of any offense really, they were just bad puns. I hope it keeps up the standard. I'm surprised RTE let him away with some of the stuff, but I'm glad they do.

Joe Duffy now as Nosferatu, haha.

Birroc

Delighted he is back. Always suspected he would be chopped for going too far. Fair play to RTE.

ricero

The day lewis scene was my favorite and of course joe duffy

Grayditch

He's doing the copper even better, now too.

gazzer

Joe Duffy as a vampire was just inspired. Loved it.

Very good first episode

Why? To quote from Flight of the Conchords - 'be more constructive with your feedback'...(tongue firmly in cheek - no offence etc. etc.).

I thought it was good but then again I've always enjoyed it. I think it's quite insightful, with the occasional mis-step. The Garda sketches are always good and, as a relatively new parent myself i could relate to the bottle-making sketch in tonight's episode.

Unlike a lot of RTE 'comedy', and whatever anyone might think of it, the Savage Eye at least has the courage of its own conviction and a sense of purpose. It's consistent - whether you think that's good or bad.

Sure I even rrroooodddde the wife when she was giving birth

Who was the sketch with him dressed as the black haired one with the knife sticking out of his head meant to be?

JM Skipton

Really enjoyed it last night, like poster earlier said Daniel Day Lewis sketch was funny. I'd say there were a lot of parents squirming at some of the sketches thought he nailed the whole modern day Irish parenting and the BS you have to go through.

I love the show its hilarious but it probably wont appeal to everyones sense of humor, the time travelllers sketch is gas
